My twin 7 year olds love this movie - if kids like the movie, that should really be all that counts because **drumroll** it's a kid's movie! Always interesting screen visuals and some nice performances from the cast. George Lopez is great in the role - just great. This guy should be doing more films (I sound like his publicist or mother but it's true!). Not a huge fan of Robert Rodriguez but he did well with this one.

I came into the movie with very low expectations. The 3.5 rating on IMDB and all other negative stigma revolving around this title left an impression at first. But, let me tell you, DO NOT listen to those people. I came into the movie, and within the first 5 SECONDS I was already gripped into this story that hasn't even begun yet. As I progressed through the movie, I only got more and more baffled by all of the negative reviews and comments people were leaving. EVERYTHING about this movie is perfect. Everything was done with the utmost care and all the characters are deftly woven into deep, relatable characters that you really care about and want to succeed. The music is fully orchestrated and truly epic, a soundtrack to truly fit the eminence of everything else in the movie. The CGI in the movie is done extremely well, with certain camera tricks and acting makes it look real. I must say all the computer engineers did a great job on their part, precise to the smallest polygon or pixel. The story is an absolute roller-coaster, one emotion to the next, each scene more breathtaking than the last. In short, everything about this movie was perfection in every aspect.In conclusion, do not trust the low IQ nonintellectual degenerates that call this movie "trash" or "only kids stuff", this is a movie, like many others, which is only for intellectuals and requires a very high IQ to truly understand the depth of what is playing on your television screen. Go see Sharkboy and Lavagirl now, that is, if you're intellect is high enough.

Max is ridiculed by the kids in Mr. Electricidad (George Lopez)'s class for making up stories about Sharkboy (Taylor Lautner) and Lavagirl. He writes it all in his notebook. Class bully Linus steals the notebook. Only Marissa (Sasha Pieterse) appreciates his stories. His father (David Arquette) like his imagination but his mother (Kristin Davis) wants him to stop. Strange things are happening. Then Sharkboy and Lavagirl come to take Max to help save the planet Drool.I didn't watch this in 3D. Honestly I don't think I would like the sensory overload of Robert Rodriguez's CGI world. Instead of a fun action adventure, this gets a bit aggravating with all the craziness. I wouldn't call the child actors that great but I don't put any of it on them. I just don't think this is a fun movie.

This is one of, if not the worst, movies of all time. The acting is bad, the CGI and special effects are TERRIBLE TERRIBLE and the plot is TERRIBLE TERRIBLE. Many things about the movie don't even make sense, like parents are still going to send their kids to school during a tornado? I don't think so. Max lives a sad life. His dad is weird, and he lives right across from the school. Max's teacher, Mr. Electricidad, is a jerk. Mr. Electricidad makes fun of a kid's name (He called Linus a Minus)My sister said she would cry if she had that life.Sharkboy is an easily-angered child who needs meds. By the time you reach the scene where he fights the plug-in cords, you will take the DVD out. This movie is so terrible and it is super super SUPER boring. Max is constantly embarrassing himself in front of his class. He said Sharkboy and lava girl do exist and he also said to Linus "He ruined my dream journal!" Please do not watch this movie.
